Editing Guild Master

'''Guild Master''' was a senior rank in the [[Guild]] hierarchy system, second to [[Grand Master]]. 

The capacity and responsibilities of the rank are not known, but the name suggests expertise and possibly taking one or more apprentices. Within his own craft, a Master's word was as law. They had mostly supervisory roles in their guild or were assistants to the Grand Master. Few of them were elected to the [[Guild Council]].<ref name="watson">RAWA. ''[http://www.allthingsuru.com/AllThingsUru/pdf/The%20Watson%20Letters.pdf The Watson Letters]''.</ref> It is not known how many Guild Masters there were in a Guild. Possibly a Grand Master was selected from the available Guild Masters.

Most Guild Masters did not agree with King [[Lanaren]]'s demand to rewrite the [[Age]]s that were operated by [[ahrotahn|outsiders]] knowing that the plan would take years and years but nonetheless, they agreed to attempt it. However later they protested about the king's plan to connect [[Ae'gura]] with the [[D'ni|D'ni City]] proper, halting the project.<ref>DRC. ''[[Reference:DRC research notebooks/King Lanaren|King Lanaren notebook]]''. [[Uru: Ages Beyond Myst]].</ref> It seems that many Guild Masters lived in the elite districts of [[Ae'gura]]. 

On [[Riven]], [[Gehn]] maintained the rank in the [[Rivenese Guilds]].<ref>Gehn. ''[[Reference:Gehn, Lab journal|Lab journal]],'' dated 85.6.7. [[Riven (game)|Riven]].</ref>

Guild Masters who survived the [[Fall of D'ni]] migrated to [[Releeshahn]]. They aided [[Atrus]] with the construction of his second [[crystal viewer]].<ref>Atrus. ''[[Reference:Atrus, personal journal (Myst III: Exile)|Personal journal]],'' dated 93.10.24. [[Myst III: Exile]].</ref>
